[OOC: Eric has been pretty busy, so he might not be around much these days. If we don't hear from him the next half-day or so and you two want to use a spell, then I'll have to make an executive decision. Unfortunately, I am neither an executive nor decisive!] Ooc: seems fair....or maybe Pinky was secretly a wizard

[OOC: Cause I have to.....]
Loreleri studies the floor for few minutes. She walks across it comparing the drawn lines to the inscribed ones. She asks for Hammett's art supplies then commands the group to begin erasing his drawings on the floor. Once done she begins her own tracings of a large pentagram and chants and sings in an ethereal, deep-sea way.
"It is done. Stand within and I will transport us to the destination."
They see that the pentagram is imperfect with a large break in the circles on one side. She stands at the gap, her feet bridging the discontinuity. She chants some more, a glow and wind rise that scare off Cevap.
And then.....whiteness.

Hammett does as she commands and also reminds her during her spell preparations that she still has Dorian's trump card which has some of his psychic impression in it, which might help make her spell more accurate.

I close my eyes and concentrate I focus on the beating of my own heart first, then my breath, then the noise from shelly and the others

For a few moments everything is biting cold before the weight of the fur parkas settle over everyone... except Lorelei who doesn't seem to need one. "Travel by Lesser Pattern is never as precise as one would like," she comments. "There is always a flaw to overcome. Simply hanging other magic on the sign for long gives the spells a tendency to break-down unless given constant maintenance... At the bottom of this path our destination awaits..." The pathway leads down into a paradise... .

#s://i~ibb~co/WVcwnWf/K2-the-second-tallest-mountain-in-the-world~jpg [OOC: Does it?!] There is the briefest moment of soul searing, bone gnawing cold before the parkas fall. Enough time for Shelly to get half a swear word out. Yet it is still incredibly cold, even bundled up. The group finds themselves on the edge of a frozen precipice, a knife's edge of granite wide enough for two people to walk side by side leading upwards through a swirling mass of gale-blown snow or downwards through the same swirling mass of wind-blown snow. They see no one else except for a nearby demon. Dead from some sort of burns. Hammett recognizes it as the same type as he saw in Kasaba during the occupation. "Do you hear that?" Shelly asks. "Voices. Out there over the edge on both sides."

[OOC: Compared to the freezing cold here, just about anyplace is a virtual paradise.]

Hammett listens to the voices for a moment, trying to make out any words or details. He then points to the demon, trying not to yell over the wind, but not really succeeding, "That is one of Vada's. Given the damage it's taken I think there is a chance we might not be the only ones hunting her." He looks to Shelly, "Does Dorian know magic or have any other way of causing burns like that?"

" Let's push forward." I grunt to them.

Hammett nods and yells as quietly as he can in the wind but still getting his voice across, "Up?"
He motions for Pinky to take position at the back of the group and keep an eye on the trail behind them as they begin heading up the path.

They begin to trudge up the mountainside. It is miserable going for all, especially Shelly, who is freezing and can't keep pace with everyone else. Will you leave her behind or slow down to stay with her?

Will you leave her behind or slow down to stay with her? OOC: Can I piggyback her without actually losing her? Maybe tying something around her to keep her with me?
